How to start a Chromium extension directly from a shortcut or command in Ubuntu?
I want to run "Chat for Google" (Use the Chat for Google extension to connect and communicate.) Chrome/Chromium extension directly using a command or short cut in Ubuntu. (I know how to create desktop short cut for Chrome/Chromium web apps, but that is not possible with this extension.)

so basically you want to shortcut that app to your desktop but you are not being able to do so?

This works on Windows, maybe it also works for you on Linux:
%ProgramFiles(x86)%GoogleChromeApplicationchrome.exe --profile-directory="Profile 1" --kiosk --app-id="idoftheapp" --app=chrome-extension://"extension name url"
For example:
%ProgramFiles(x86)%GoogleChromeApplicationchrome.exe --profile-directory="Profile 1" --kiosk --app-id=lkcngchfhbcfncpnoejcbncjnahgkbpo --app=chrome-extension://mefgmmbdailogpfhfblcnnjfmnpnmdfa/reader.html

When mighty Captain Obvious stroke me reading this, out of curiosity I tried to call the extension ID as given by the web store to see what would happen:
"/usr/bin/chromium --profile-directory=Default --app-id=nckgahadagoaajjgafhacjanaoiihapd"
Result: It actually calls the Hangouts extension yet it brings up just a child menu of configuration menu. This one closes when leaving via OK/Cancel, so the princess is in another castle.
Though I wonder if there could be any ID pointing on the right spot, calling the main extension?
